Jenkins - git global config not loaded
git, jenkins, ubuntu-12.04
Solution
At the Jenkins web page, go to Manage Jenkins-> Configure System, find the git settings.
You should be able to fill in "Global Config user.name Value" and "Global Config user.email Value" there.
Problem
I have verified that the git repository is being accessed by my jenkins user through the build task, and set git config for jenkins user.name and user.email, which I have confirmed using: ``` su - jenkins git config --global --get user.name > Jenkins git config --global --get user.email > ci@domain.com ``` However, the jenkins build cannot create a tag and returns `"*** Please tell me who you are."`, which I'm aware is because of missing git user and email. Any ideas on where I can start? The git repo is being accessed in context of jenkins user. Do I need to restart server or git or something else?
